Not at all, actually.  I did see a patch for mplayer that is supposed to 
let you play the encrypted files, when I get more time I'm going to play 
with it.  No idea if it works or not.

I've been just transferring them to Win using the TivoDesktop software, 
then decrypting them and converting them to MPEG as you mentioned.  I'm 
hoping I can get the mplayer solution working - using graphedit is kind of 
a pain.  I'm hoping if mplayer works, I can script something to 
automatically download, decrypt, and convert the .tivo's to MPEGs.
